Unexpected Places

Unexpected Places provides memorable arts-based opportunities and performances in, from and leading to unexpected places.

We deliver not-for-profit arts and cultural services for the general public with a focus on the South of England, and Hampshire in particular. This includes making and touring performances, leading educational workshops and running our youth theatre called Acting UP.

Through our education arm, Light UP (previously Acting UP) we provide affordable and accessible drama classes with the purpose of encouraging children, teenagers and adults to benefit from involvement in the arts; focusing on building confidence, imagination, curiosity and teamwork, as well as a practical learning about the many facets of theatre and performance.

We exist to provide community orientated projects that promote social cohesion, wellbeing and access to cultural opportunities, taking both our audiences and our participants to unexpected places.
